Flower Garden Quilt - Edge to Edge Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

Donna sent me this gorgeous hexagon quilt and asked me to machine quilt it for her. The quilt was all had pieced tiny hexagons, I think they were about 2" finished, maybe smaller. 

Donna wanted the quilt to keep an antique look so she chose this fun edge to edge pattern.

Chicks & Flowers - Edge to Edge Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

Over the last few months I've shared several of Cat's quilts. She's been one busy lady, UFO busting like crazy and I've had so much fun machine quilting quilts for her! Her quilts have all be so cute and unique!

This fun quilt was another darling quilt, I just love it!

Front Porch Quilt - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

Lolly made this darling Front Porch quilt and brought it to me for some custom machine quilting. She picked this quilt up for this fun kit from my local quilt shop, Quilted Works, they actually laser cut all of the applique pieces making the quilt so much quicker to put together.

Rah Rah Rally Quilt - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

Kathy made this darling Rah Rah Rally quilt as a graduation gift. The quilt is darling and I was so excited to custom machine quilt it for her. The quilt is going to a girl so Kathy asked me to machine quilt it with a bit of a girly flair. I decided to mix modern, because the pattern is a bit modern, and girly, so I machine quilted straight lines and swirls and flowers. I love how it turned out.

Gingerbread Village - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

I recently finished custom machine quilting this fun Gingerbread Village quilt for Marilyn. Even though it's not Christmas time, it's fun to switch things up and quilt a Christmas quilt in March. :)

Marilyn made this fun quilt as a block of the month through Quilted Works, they laser cut all of those applique pieces, so putting the quilt together is so much easier. It looks like they still have a few kits available on their website, if you want to pick one up.

Thankful - A Fall Quilt - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

Around here I don't think it matters what the season is, I'm always machine quilting something. :) Marilyn made this beautiful Thankful quilt and brought it to me and asked me to custom machine quilt it for her. She liked how I had custom machine quilted another version of this quilt for Quilted Works and wanted something similar. If you know me, you know it's pretty rare that I quilt two quilts exactly the same, so it was fun to change this one up a bit, but still have some fun custom machine quilting it. 

String Tulips - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

Carla made this gorgeous String Tulips quilt and sent it to me for some custom machine quilting. She liked a quilt that I had custom machine quilted with crosshatching in the background and asked me to quilt hers similar. Crosshatching is just such a classic pattern, you can never go wrong with it.

Spider Star Quilt Pattern - The Battle Against Breast Cancer

After several requests for this fun Spider Star quilt block to be converted into a 72" quilt I finally have the math all figured out and the instructions written. 

Thank you again to all of you who have supported my mom, in raising funds to help pay for her breast cancer expenses.

This PDF pattern is now available for purchase, for $5.00 and I will be donating 100% of the proceeds to my mom, Kathleen Whiting to help her with this fight against Breast Cancer. 

To read more about this cause check out this blog post.

When I decided to convert this block into a 72" square I chose to write the instructions using half square triangles instead of flying geese. The blocks are big, and in my opinion when blocks get too big it becomes hard to keep things square. So, working with half square triangles will create no waste and be a bit easier to manage.

I've sketched out this pattern in simple two color palates, but I'd love to see it made more scrappy. I think it could be so cheery.

I have to share just a few of the sweet comments, they are all so heartwarming.
